Prejudice: Question 2
"an unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason." it's just a thing that people think about something without knowing fully. I think i heard prejudice, in a book title, Pride and Prejudice and it is a really complecated book. I think the effects are mostly negative because people doesn't want other to think wrong opinions about ourselves. We might have a good manner, but people could say he has a bad manner by just looking at his face. I think saying prejudice and making those kind of opinions which is prejudice is bad for being a friendly person. We make a lot of those decisions to judge someone and basically prejudice means pre-judge or looking at someone even though you have never talked or never knew about. It is same as not participating in a trip or an acitivities because you think it wouldn't be fun. That is an exmple of prejudice because before participating or going you made an assumption or a guess about that thing and decide not to go. I think that is an okay thing to do but if you just start to do everything like that and make assumptions everytime you will lose something and someone will look at you the way tou look. I think a little bit of prejudice for something that you really have to think is good, but it wouldn't be good to pre-judge people by their apperance.

Yea Peter I have a connection. I also read the book Pride and Prejudice. In the book, Elizabeth at first is prejudice of Darcy because her first impression of him was not good at all. To Elizabeth, Darcy seemed like grotesque despicable creature during her first moments with him. Therefore she judges him always rude and despicable. Later throughout the story, Elizabeth realizes what the real Darcy is like and soon enough they fall in love. That example goes to show you that prejudice is not good. You can not pre judge someone because you don't even know that person and you never know, that person might be the sweetest person. Nice blog and hope to share more ideas Peter.
